ABOUT RIOJA ALTA
Rioja Alta is the westernmost of the 3 Rioja sub-regions. The climate is largely similar to that of Rioja Alavesa to the north and the vineyards here are located at higher altitudes than in Rioja Baja to the southeast, assisting in the accumulation of acidity, color and moderate alcohol levels. The soil has a healthy mix of clay, iron and alluvial components, giving it a redder color than its northern neighbor's sandy white soils. When compared with Rioja Alavesa, these wines tend to be lighter in body and lower in acid, with the emphasis on elegance.
